## Caption

In 2021, Megan Piphus Peace, a self-trained ventriloquist and puppeteer joined Sesame Street as the first Black female puppeteer in the show's history.

@meganpiphus started puppetry and ventriloquism at ten and taught herself puppetry and ventriloquism by watching VHS tapes.

A lifelong passion has turned into a fulfilling and trailblazing career.

Representation matters, and we're cheering her on every step of the way! 💜
